ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Author photography by Moonbot Studios LA, LLC
William Joyce does a lot of stuff, but children’s books are his true bailiwick (Big Time Olie, Sleepy Time Olie, Ollie’s Odyssey, The Man in the Moon, Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King, The Mischievians, and the #1 New York Times bestselling The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which is also an Academy Award®–winning short film, to name a few). He lives in Shreveport, Louisiana. Talk to William Joyce and look at upcoming work at @heybilljoyce on Twitter and Instagram.
